Which Do You Like Better? Why?

messy：取り扱いが面倒（とここでは言いたいのではないかと思われる）

【Summer vs. Winter：サンプル回答】
I like summer because I can go to the beach and have fun with my friends. Winter makes the seawater icy and too cold to swim in.
<表現CHK> swim in
【Cars vs. Trains：サンプル回答】
I like cars because it spares me from being trapped in a crowded train. It also takes me to work on time.
spare：救う
（わざわざ回りくど言い方をしているような気がするけど・・・）
【Dogs vs. Cats：サンプル回答】
I like dogs because they can do tricks for me, and we can play around the park when I get home from work/school. Cats can’t play catch, and they don’t like to take a bath.
do trick：芸をする
play catch：キャッチボールをする
【Coffee vs. Tea：サンプル回答】
I prefer coffee to tea because it keeps me awake at work. Its aroma is really good compared to tea.
<表現CHK> keeps me awake
aroma：〔心地良い〕香り、匂い、芳香 [əróumə]
【Paper Books vs. E-books：サンプル回答】
I prefer reading a physical book because it helps me sleep at night. E-books can make my eyes very tired and expose them to more blue light.
<表現CHK> physical book
expose ～：～をさらす
【Smartphones vs. Tablets：サンプル回答】
I like using smartphones because it has everything that I need. I can watch movies, listen to music and upload photos on Facebook anytime, anywhere. Moreover, it’s much handier than a tablet.
A tablet has a wider screen than a smartphone but it won’t fit inside my pocket.
handy：扱いやすい
【Taking Private Lessons vs. Group Lessons：サンプル回答】
I like taking group lessons because it allows me to interact with new people and to make new friends.
I can share my ideas while at the same time learn something from them. Taking private lessons can be boring.
interact：相互に作用する、影響しあう [ìntərǽkt]
while at the same time：一方でそれと同時に
【Living by Yourself vs. with Your Family：サンプル回答】
I like living alone because it helps me think deeply and I can get to relax when I have a bad day at work/school.
Sometimes living with my family makes it more difficult for me to think and concentrate on something because they talk too loud or sometimes my little brother disturbs me when I’m working/studying.
get to ～：～の状態になる
<レッスン中言えなかった表現>
※機械翻訳より
鶏の鳴き声：I can hear chickens clucking.
犬の吠え声：I can hear the dog barking.
【Watching TV at Home vs. Watching a Movie in a Theater：サンプル回答】
I like watching TV at home because it saves me from standing for a long time in a long queue, waiting for my turn to get a ticket. Watching a movie in a theater is also a bit expensive, and you get distracted by people who talk loudly during the movie.
distract：人の気を散らす
【Reading a Book Alone vs. Hanging Out with Friends：サンプル回答】
I like reading a book because its story could take me to its fantastic world. I could picture out a certain scene and imagine how the characters talk with each other. Hanging out with friends is also good, but sometimes, you just need time to be on your own and enjoy your own company.
picture：心に描く
on one’s own：ひとりで
レッスンの感想
今回はいつもに増して時間が掛かった・・・・。
なにせ最後まで終えるのにレッスンが4回！雑談が多いせいか時間が掛かるので、１回のレッスンあたり１ページ程度しか進まない。
しかもその合間のレッスンでは、教材をやるつもりが結局おしゃべりのFree Conversationになったり、というのがあったり。
さらに、こういうスピーキング教材は会話を弾ませてくれる先生が良いので、なんとかお気に入りリスト内の先生が空くのを待ったりもしていた。
なんかダラダラし過ぎたかも。。。
でも4回ともお気に入りの会話上手な先生たちのレッスンを受けられたので、とても良かった。
1回目と3回目がセルビアのB先生、2回目がエルサルバドルのO先生、4回目は最後の2問でアルメニアのD先生だった。
皆さん、上手に相手をしてくれてありがとう。
